SOCIAL SCIENCE FOR THE
 PEOPLE,.
WHAT SOCIALISTS WANT.

If the American people knew what Socialism really means, they could hard Iy wait for the required constitutional changes, in their impatience to have the Socialistic commonwealth established. Unfortunately, even educated Ameri- cans fancy or believe that Socialists pro- pose to plunder those who possess the good things of this world, and divide the spells among those who have noth- ing; that they intend to abolish all prop erty, so that no one will have anything to call his own; that they advocate the formation of such an equality that the lazy and industrious, the virtuous and the vicious, will have the same enjoy ments; that they want to subvert the family relations and discard marriage. No wonder Socialism is a bug to people who have such notions of it.
 There are 1000, ,000 men in Germany who vote the SOcialistic ticket at the risk of sacrificing their means of living, of losing their liberty, and of being ban ished from their homes. Is it reasonable to suppose that all these voters are luna tics?
 Prof. Schaeffle, an ex-Minister of Con- merce of the Austrian Empire, whose works on political economy are looked fhnr ip i.,t that man become an imbecile?
 The fact is, Socialism will not do away with marriage, but will put stop to its being any longer matter of business of money; it will not destroy the family. but enable every healthy man to form family, with a sure prospect that he can support his wife, and have his children properly educated; it will not attempt any such folly us to establish an unnat- ural equality, but it will remove all arti- ficial inequalities; it will not abolish property, but will give every person power to acquire property; it will not rob anybody, but see to il that in the future no person can fleece any other person.
 The object, then, of Socialism is to se- cure to every person, CD, an opportunity to secure work, and such work, be it handiwork or headwork as he or she is fitted to do; and, @, to receive the pro- ceeds of such work, partly in personal remuneration and partly in public bene- fits. This is the very kernel-the soul of Socialism. It, undoubtedly, contem- plates many other things, but these other things will logically follow from this principal demand. The man who wants that for all his fellow citizens, has got Socialistic heart; it is only his head that needs enlightenment,

Atraid 10 Speak his Mind. Shame upon thee, craven spirit! Is it manly, just or brave, If truth have shone within thee, To conceal the light it gave; Captive of the worlds opinion Free to speak, but yet a slave? All conviction should be valiant; Tell thy truth, if truth there be; Never seek to stem its current Thoughts, like rivers, find the sea; It will fit the widening circle Of Eternal Verify. Though an honest thought outspoken. Lead thee into chains or death What is life, compared to virtue? Shalt thou not survive thy breath? Hark the future age invites thee ! Listen trembler, what it saith It demands thy thought in justice, Debt, not tribute, of the free; Have not ages long departed, Groaned and toiled and bled for thee :. If the past have lent thee wisdom, Pay it to Futurity, Speak thy thought, if thou bcliev'st it. Let it jostle whom it may, Fen although the foolish scorn it, Or the obstinate gainsay; Every seed that grows tomorrow Lies beneath the sod to day.

STRIKES AND BOYCOTTS.
John Swinton Says They Are Efficient
 until we get Something Else.

The cry that strikes and boycotts are no good and that the ballot is the thing, remind one of the well-worn remark of the French princess who, when told that the people had no bread, asked, "Why don't they eat cake?"' A revolu- tionary leader may object to clubs, scythes and pitchforks in the hands of his followers; certainly repeating rifles and artillery would be better; but one must use what one can get and handle In this light strikes and boycotts are eff cient until we get something better

Water of the Dead Sea.

Just at dawn we dismounted on the
narrow, pebbly beach of the Dead sea
The water of this memorable lake is al
most motionless and is transparent to
great depth. The taste is very salt and
acrid, far beyond that of the ocean, and
it is very irritating to any mucous mem
brane with which it comes in contact.
This is due to the large amount (25 per
cent? of sodium, potassium and magne-
sium salts it contains, which also pre-
vent animals or plants of any kind living
in it and give it a specific gravity so high
that we did not sink lower than to the
shoulders when standing erect in it. The
human body floats without exertion on
the surface, and can only be submerged
with difficulty, but swimming is I'M
pleasant, as the feet have too great a
tendency to rise to the surface.-Detroit

To the dOubter and disbeliever in sacred
relics by far the most interesting sight in
Handy or, better, the district in which
Randy is situated, for they are at the

or even in all Ceylon, are the Royal
Botanical gardens.
Palms and bamboos grow to a great
height, and their smooth, round trunks
tower toward the sky shapely and grace
full. Ebony, satin wood and mahogany
are as common as the oaks and naples of
our American groves. Ferns and luxu-

Systematically arranged jungle GoresO

cinnamon, cloves and other spices adds a
peculiar favor to an air already laden

A Generous Hostess.

At a dinner recently given in New
York the hostess presented her guests
with satin banjos, exquisitely painted in
water colors and mounted in silver.
These, with the corsage bouquet, were
laid at each lady's plate. A gentleman
gave a theatre party to a dozen of his
friends, and after the theatre a supper at
DeImonico's. Just before the conclusion
of the repast six gilt bird cages, each
containing a sweet voiced canary bird,
were brought in and presented to his
lady guests. Silver enters very largely
into ornaments for favors. Silver toilet
articles of curious designs are sought for,
and the dressing bureau that does not
contain a dozen of these articles, artistic

Down where the sluggish bayou flows,
Come and IN show you, if proof you need,
The spot well chosen for darkest deedi
He was stabbed to the heart-'a murder'-you
say,
Maybe owl in yon tall pine tree
Heard the last groan, which seems 10 be
Echoing yet when the wind in its might
Walls dirge of a winters night
And sounds from the swamp a weird like cry,
As a strange bird feels some danger nigh.
So strangers dug the grave out there,
Where the winds viii closer cling each year;
Starry blossoms shine out in the spring,
And the mocking bird shall sometimes sing
Its sweet love song in the cypress shade,
Over the place where the victim is laid
Over the grave Of the poor unknown,
While the pines keep up their ceaseless moan.

The Panama Canal.
Los ANGELES, August 4, Is

Los ANGELES, August A, 1887.
EDrToRs HERALD Il came to your
beautiful city by way of Panama with
several gentlemen, some OF them pro-
fessional engineers. So much talking
and writing had been done about the
progress that had been made in the
construction of the canal across the
isthmus previous to my leaving New
York, Il resolved to see all | could of
the great undertaking. From Colon
to Panama, distance of AZ miles,
there are some 80 stations, at 20 of
which the train stopped Time OF
crossing, four and three-quarter hours,
giving a pretty fair opportunity to
travellers to see all the work done on the
canal running PARALLEL with the
r. r., particularly the point where
the great trouble commenced some
time ago, the hills near Panama. My
friends, who appeared quite compe-
tent to give an opinion in the matter,
unanimously concluded from all that
they had seen on the way, and what
they had heard in two days at the
City of Panama from good authority,
that four times the original amount
would not be sufficient to complete the
enterprise.
The large number of buildings put
up by the company and the enormous
quantities of material strewn along the
whole line of the canal, DEM
onstrated lavish expenditure
of money, the numerous surveys
costing an immense sum. When en-
quiring of "a party supposed to
be from his long connection with the
country familiar with its system of
doing business, he gave us an illustra-
ton in the following manner; A
workman requires few pounds of
spikes to complete a job; he has to
make out a requisition on the first
boss of the section he is working in;
then this requisition is sent from one
boss to the next highest, and SO on to
the high muck-a-muck, in circumloc-
utory manner, with all the red tape
attending such movements. When
finally, after several weeks, a key of
spikes arrives at the spot designated
in the said requisition, the man who
ordered them perhaps picked up
enough on the ground to complete
the job, or he may be dead, for
few Of them live long, and the keg of
spikes lays where it dropped, gets
broken and buried in the sand, and
SO it is all around with construction
material.
The reported lack of enthusiasm
among the people of France and the
languid manner in which they are re-
ported to have responded to the call
for subscriptions to the new loan, in
dicates a doubt on their part OF the
feasibility of the enterprise. M. X.

ANAHEIM HOTEL.
A Rousing Meeting TO Discuss
Proposed Sites.


On Wednesday evening meeting
was held in Anaheim to receive ten
ders for site for the new hotel about
to be built in that growing town.
Nearly 100 of the prominent property
holders of Anaheim were on hand,
and seven envelopes enclosing tenders
for the site were opened. Five of
these were found to be propositions to
sell certain lots to those who have the
hotel matter in hand. OF these ten
ders there is not much to be said.
Tley are all good enough locations,
but it is thought that some liberal
minded Anaheimer will come forward
and give a lot for the purpose named !;
then, again, if site was to be pur-
chased the committee will hardly con-
fine their attention to five parcels of
ground. They will go out into the
general market, and having canvassed
the whole matter will select the best
price to be had for the money at their
disp osal.
The tender of Mr.. ii. Deutsch, of
eight fine lots, two acres, on Lemon
street, just off Center, would afford a
place certainly very eligible for ho-
tel. The spot is central, and the lots
are in all respects choice. But
Messrs. Bonsall q Wiesendan-
ger were on hand with three
propositions which in liberality
are all that could be asked. They
offer to donate four acres of land near
the center of the city and between
Center and Broadway streets, fronting
on Center, if that be insisted on.
Then these gentlemen say: If the
people of Anaheim will subscribe
$4,000 of the stock, they will take
the rest of what is necessary to erect
hotel of at least 20 sleeping rooms. A
plan of the house was laid before the
people. and it is certainly in all
respects a hotel worthy of any
place in Southern California,
not excepting the Metropolis. Or
Mr.. Wisendanger and his associates,
if the people will make donation of
$4,000 to the hotel, will proceed to
erect the building in first-class style.
They will ornament the grounds
in the finest style of art, with
shrubbery, fountains, walks, ETC., etc.
Or fiually, if any other parties will
come forward and build the hotel, the
syndicate first named will give them
the four acres of ground free of all
cost.
Now, it certainly is not too much
to say that this will secure the hotel
to Anaheim. The Committee of Citi-
zens who have canvassed the town re-
port about 10000 subscribed for the
purpose. Turn this in to Messrs.
Bonsall and Wiesendanger, and the
hotel is an accomplished fact at once.
The offer is remarkably liberal one
in all respects, and this opportunity
should be promptly seized to secure
the much needed hotel to Anaheim.

tiOnS.

New YORK, August 4.-The announcement
made by the Secretary of the Treasury that
he would prepay the interest and buy bonds
for the sinking fund created quite scare
among the bears this morning and for some
time there was lively scrambling to cover.
sharp upward movement was also acceler-
ated by liberal purchase for the London
account and out of town buyers were as
clamorous as yesterday The advance i'll
prices in the forenoon was fully equal to
anything that has been seen for some time.
Later however, the bears recovered from the
scare and began to argue that rise would
close with an elimination of the short inter
est and more influential buyers put out
fresh lines on the short side. This induced
considerable realizing by the smaller traders
on the long side and large proportion of
gains were wiped out. Rumors that the Ne
yada Bank was in trouble aided in produc-
lug bad effect, but on contradiction of the
story better tone became apparent. The
news of the day was generally favorable and
much talk was heard in regard to settle
ment of the cable war. Everything is higher
